First off, I am very glad there is Thai restaurant in Lake Charles. There needs to be a couple of…read moremore. I think they have the right idea, but I will have to disagree on their execution. We got the Spring Rolls, Pad Thai, and the Pad KraPrao. Overall the food tasted good, not great. My biggest complaint is that the peanut sauce was something I've never seen (as in DID NOT LIKE) seen. It's some kind of clear liquid thing. They could buy peanut sauce in the Asian section at any grocery store and it would be better. Next was the Pad Thai. It was good, but it feels like they are more worried about the spice level than the quality of the dish. Lastly was the Pad KraPrao. I have eaten at too many Thai restaurants to count, and they all serve this dish the same way: rice on the bottom and the PKP on top. Nice and easy. This place served it (and all the dishes I saw) like Chinese food: Two huge plates, one with rice and one with the PKP. That coupled with the taste (not very good) means that I will not order that again. I will give them another chance. I'll take my own peanut sauce for the spring rolls, and pick a recommendation off of these other reviews.

This is, without a doubt, Lake Charles' best kept secret. Nestled in a quiet strip mall, the food…read moreand customer service packs a punch that is anything but quiet. We opted for a Pork Ramen bowl and a Poke Bowl. The ramen broth had flavor depth as if it had been simmering for a millennia! The charred pork added a meaty touch. Would 10/10 recommend. The Poke Bowl was a steal at under $15. The chunks of spicy tuna were big and plentiful. Each and every bite was more delicious than the last. The restaurant itself is incredibly clean and the staff is attentive and quick with the service. The prices are awesome, just like the food! Please do yourself a favor and eat here.

On a rainy day, my son and I decided to kill some time and grab lunch at Koko Ramen…read more We walked into an empty restaurant that, while clean, definitely could use some updating. Most of the seats were torn, which was one of the first things we noticed. We grabbed our own menus and waited a few minutes for the waitress to come over. We both ordered waters, but my son's had floating green particles on top that looked like green onions. Instant turn off. I ordered a poke bowl and he ordered ramen. I do wish both dishes would've come out together. Once we started eating, I could tell pretty quickly my poke bowl was anything but fresh. The cucumbers tasted sour, the edamame was mushy, and the amount and quality of the fish was disappointing for the price. My son had a similar experience with his ramen. He said the wontons tasted like nothing, although the broth and noodles themselves weren't bad. This little restaurant honestly has so much potential, which is why I hate leaving a negative review for a mom-and-pop place. But for the prices being charged, the ingredients really need to be fresher. Unfortunately, we would not return

Pretty easy to get to when traveling east on I-10. We found easy parking, Buffi's is at the corner of Broad & Bilbo Street. Great vibes right from the get go. There's a pretty mural on the side of the building, great photo op for those that are doing it for the 'Gram. The interior is cutely decorated, black and white checkered table cloths. It's self service at the counter. After looking over the menu, we decided on a small bowl of Shrimp & Corn Chowder along with a full size All American Peauxboy. I'm not a corn guy but my wife said the chowder was delicious. The Peauxboy was fantastic. If you would have told me the bread was baked an hour before I ate the sandwich, I would have believed you. It was so fresh & so delicious! We might have a new stop for our roadtrips when headed east. It was a great first meal on our weekend getaway.

Brett and Logan gave me the lowdown on the history of Pat's (rebuild following hurricane/s) while mixing up a decent Old Fashioned. I started w a side wedge followed with crab cakes and a "stuffed potato" (like a twice-baked). The cheese on the potato resembled the sheen of a kraft single. Maybe step up the cheese game. Nevertheless, all was good and tasty. A mid-upscale vibe present as many guests seemed to be well dressed and celebrating. Looking forward to sampling more of the menu.
